- What is the event or issue that inspired the cartoon? That everyone is becoming more and more distracted by all the new technology that we can't see what's going on around us
- Are there any real known personalities depicted in the cartoon? Even if this is not the case, what type of person is being depicted? The average person is being depicted because everyone has been distracted enough to not hear what someone else says. There aren't really any personalities being depicted
- Are there symbols and/or signifiers in the cartoon? What are they and what do you think they represent? There aren't really any signifiers or symbols in the cartoon.
- What do you think the cartoonist's opinion is about the topic? Do you think it is his alone or expresses the view of the publisher too? Why? I think its everyone's view, because we can all relate to a point in time where this has happened to us (not getting replaced, being distracted) and I think that the author shows this in a very clear way.
- Do you agree with the cartoonist's opinion? Why?? The author doesn't really express an opinion but if it was what i think it was, that we are getting to distracted by things around us to see what is right in front of us, then yes, i do agree and if we keep this up we will end up missing something really important.

Satire
Picture no.? why it made me laugh? techniques?
10 Its over exaggerating things that exaggeration
don't really matter in prep and incongruity
highlights the ridiculousness of report
cards in prep schools
15 It shows the exaggeration of the military Exaggeration
guy shouting at Hicks, the small guy,
for training terrorists when the big guy is
holding rockets and warheads
19 Its funny because its a short comic with Stereotypes
which a little girl states that only girls can
carry purses whereas boys carry briefcases.
Its playing on gender roles where boys carry
briefcases whereas girls carry briefcases
